Latest Leeds United transfer rumours as Fabrizio Romano gives update relating to the Whites

Leeds United have been busy in the summer transfer window ahead of their return to the Premier League.

The latest addition for Leeds this summer has been Anton Stach from Hoffenheim in a deal believed to be worth £17m. This was a transfer which closely followed the signing of Sean Longstaff last week from Newcastle United.

These deals add to the signings of the likes of Lukas Nmecha and defensive trio Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw and Gabriel Gudmundsson. But the Whites are far from done and are looking to add more talent to their squad.

Fabrizio Romano on Leeds United transfer race

Reports in recent weeks have suggested a goalkeeper is next on the agenda for Leeds United and there have been links with the likes of Lyon star Lucas Perri, Newcastle United stopper Nick Pope and Torino’s Vanja Milinkovic-Savic - although transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has now reported the latter is closing in on a move to Serie A champions Napoli.

There is also a need to boost Farke’s options in the final third and add at least one more striker to the Leeds squad ahead of their return to the Premier League. Former Newcastle star Callum Wilson has been suggested as a possible target after he left St James Park after failing to agree a new deal with the Magpies - but recent reports have suggested West Ham United are in talks with the England striker.

New striker name linked with Leeds

A new name has now been linked with a move to Elland Road after Italian media claimed the Whites are keen on Inter striker Mehdi Taremi after failing with a big bid for Lecce star Nikola Krstovic. The report suggested Leeds are the latest Premier League club to ‘come forward’ and register their interest in the 93-times capped Iran international after Fulham, Nottingham Forest and West Ham also showed they are keen on the experienced frontman. Further competition is said to come from Turkish club Besiktas, with former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believed to be keen to add another striker to his squad before the summer transfer window comes to a close.

By Kyle Newbould Leeds United appear to be zoning in on midfield reinforcements with just over one month until their Premier League return. Leeds United appear to have taken a big step forward in their pursuit of Anton Stach amid reports the midfielder has agreed personal terms on a move to Elland Road. The YEP exclusively reported on interest in Stach almost three weeks ago, with Leeds identifying the ball-winning midfielder as a prime candidate to add the kind of physicality and experience Daniel Farke desires. The 6ft 4ins German international is considered one of the best ball-winners in the Bundesliga and is expected to attract interest from several possible rivals. Leeds missed out on £47million pair Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki to Sunderland but still saw the Hoffenheim midfielder and Newcastle United’s Sean Longstaff as viable transfer targets, with a £15m agreement reached in principle for the latter this week. And now Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg has provided an ...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United have had some impressive results in pre-season so far. In three games, they have failed to lose and have racked up impressive scorelines. Thursday was no different. While the first team is preparing for the next friendly against Villarreal, the U21s side, with a host of first team stars, thrashed Norweigian side Lyn 1896 10-2 in a pre-season friendly this afternoon.
